No matter how successful you are, or have been, you must continue to master the art of listening.
One of My Greatest Failures (And What I Learned From It)
Success is not determined by our hardware — it is usually determined by the software that we’re running. Most people have perfectly capable hardware…normal intelligence and decent health.
